To rtl/Z whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FERDINAND SoHrrKA, a citizen of Austria, residing atVienna, Province of Lower Austria,Austria-Hungary, have invented certainnew and useful Improvements in Stoves for Heating Flat-Irons, of whichthe following is a full, clear, and exact specification.

The present invention relates to a stove for heating simultaneously aplurality of flatirons, and the stove is intended more particularly foruse with gas and adapted for economically heating the irons.

In the accompanying' drawings, in which similar reference-letters referto similar parts in all the figures, Figure l is an elevation of the newstove; Fig. 2, a central vertical section thereof with parts brokenaway; Fig. 3, a horizontal section on the lineA A of Fig. 2; Fig. LI, asimilar section on the line B B of Fig. 2, not showing parts that wouldappear in plan in such a View; Fig'. 5, a plan view, partly in section,on the line C C of Fig. I; Fig. 6, a fragmental View showing theheating-body; Fig. '7, asection on the line D D of Fig. 6, on anenlarged scale.

avis the heating-body,polygonal in cross-section and surrounded bycasing t of similar shape, which, as shown in Figs. l and 2, is providedwith slots CZ to receive the handles of the irons and in its topportions with covers c, hinged to the heating-body o to enable the ironsto be placed upon the heatingbody in the open space between said bodyand the casing i and to be removed therefrom. The heating-body a and thecasing surrounding the same are placed upon a baseplate j), which iscarried by a rotary support g, and thus may be swung around so as tobring each part of the vstove within convenient reach of the operator.

The heating-body a is provided with openings yr,behind which openingsgas-burner pipes .s are arranged, as seen from Figs. 2 and 4, so thatthe flames may strike directly against the smoothing-surfaces of theirons placed opposite said openings. The pipes s are supplied with gasfrom a common pipe T, which passes through the rotary support g and isconnected with the burner-pi pes s by branch pipes t, each branch pipe tbeing supplied with a cock o, whereby the gas to the burner-pipess maybe turned on or off at will. The gas is supplied to the pipe T by agas-tube f, a hollow joint 'u being interposed between said tubef andthe pipe T, so as to enable the stove to be .burner or by hand.

swung around its support. For the escape of the products of combustionadischarge-pipe e is arranged in the top of thev stove.4

In order to stop the gas-supply when a flatiron is removed, thefollowing arrangement is provided: Below cach of the openings r in theheating-body a there is provided a movable' piece w, the upper end ofwhich is shaped to receive in it the point of the iron to be heated. Thepiece w is carried by the arm of a centrally-pivoted lever fr, the pivotof the lever forming the stem of a valve y, disposed in the burner-pipeS. The other arm of the lever is normally held down by a weight ai inthe position shown in full lines in Fig. 7, thereby closing the valve y.`When, however, a flat-iron is placed on the piece cu, the ironovercomes the weight on the other arm of the lever, thus turning thelever, with its pivot, and opening the valve y. The gas passing into thetube s may now be lighted by a pilot- When a fiat-iron is removed fromt'ne piece w, the weight on the arm of the lever lifts again the piecew, thereby closing the valve y and cutting off the gassupply to theburner s. Stops/c are arranged on the outside of the heating-body a tolimitv the downward movement of the pieces fw.

Having now described the nature of my invention, what I claim is- 1. Ina stove for heating simultaneously a plurality of flat-irons, thecombination with a heating-body polygonal in cross-section and havingopenings therein, of a casing surrounding said heating-body and therebyconfining the heat in said body, gas-burner pipes arranged behind saidopenings in said heatingbody, one pipe being provided for each flatironto be placed over said openings, movable pieces for receiving the ironsand valves arranged in said gas-burner pipes and connected with saidmovable pieces respectively, the weightof the irons placed on saidmovable pieces being adapted to open said valves, and a weight forclosing each valve after the removal of the corresponding iron.

IOO

2. In a stove for heating simultaneously a y IIO pipes and connectedwith said movable pieces respectively, the Weight of the irons placed onsaid movable pieces being adapted to open said valves, a Weight forclosing each valve after the removal of the corresponding iron and aplatform adapted to carry all the Said parts and to turn around itsaxis.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed myname in presence of two Subscribing" Witnesses.
